While I agree with you in principle, the problem is that this is just about one link in the email delivery chain. It would be ideal that everybody understood and took care about this. However, we can't expect that they do, even if we do. People who are concerned about privacy about who they communicat with *cannot use email*. Seriously. They need to use more secure means of guarding their communication. -- Jan -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
